ing Their Own Throughout the
Country.
The once despised little MOrganS, says
the American CultiVator, are holding

and trOtteTs. There may not be any
thing remarkable in any of the above
events, but the results show that the
MOrganS are still alive, and in some
cases are capable of pushing their
noses under the wire little ahead of
their most fashionably bred competit-

famous Wizard of the Sulky," who

establishing Of the pedigree of the fam
Gus PAGER, old Pilot, sire of Pilot .Jr..
which has gained worldwide renOwn

Mambrino Gift go, Viking 2:201I and
Scotland 2;2212. According to Mr..
Battell's statement in the Middlehury
Register, he has traced old Pilot from
New Orleans back to Montreal, where
he was bought by peddler, and from
Montreal back to his breeder. from
whom it was learned that this speedy
